In-play horse racing

Postby doris_day » Sat Mar 02, 2013 4:45 pm

A while back I had a very successful algorithm for in-play but like most things, it broke, or at least became unwell. This was partially due to the cross-matching, partially due to the poorer liquidity and partially due to the slow but inevitable increase in efficiency where there is a distinct lack. So I had to work hard to find another algo. Which I've now done. This one doesn't work in-play but I watch them quite a lot because I'm collecting other data for an idea I have. Anyway, I don't have any hard and fast data without looking but it seems to me there some right prats working in these markets as time and time again I'm seeing multiple horses traded at sub-1.20 and winners traded at very high prices. Obviously this has always happened but it seems that its happening with an increasing frequency these days. No doubt there are those able to take advantage of this increase in volatility but there must be some people out there taking hit after hit at stupid prices. Hope you're not one of them :)

Sports betting software from Gruss Software


The strength of Gruss Software is that it’s been designed by one of you, a frustrated sports punter, and then developed by listening to dozens of like-minded enthusiasts.

Gruss is owned and run by brothers Gary and Mark Russell. Gary discovered Betfair in 2004 and soon realised that using bespoke software to place bets was much more efficient than merely placing them through the website.

Gary built his own software and then enhanced its features after trialling it through other Betfair users and reacting to their improvement ideas, something that still happens today.

He started making a small monthly charge so he could work on it full-time and then recruited Mark to help develop the products and Gruss Software was born.

We think it’s the best of its kind and so do a lot of our customers. But you can never stand still in this game and we’ll continue to improve the software if any more great ideas emerge.
